The proposal is presented in the form of a theoretical and practical workshop which will provide attendees with tools for knowledge, interpretation and application of international law and human rights principles in urban matters. Training sessions seek to develop tools for participants to understand the perspective of human rights in general and gender in particular in different "urban facts", such as urbanization of informal settlements, development of public spaces, forced evictions, access to adequate housing, among others.
